Dear Donors, Volunteers, Supporters, and Recipients,
“We’re getting closer to Christmas and this help would be a tremendous relief right now.”
This statement is from one of our recipients of Hunters Helping Hunters USA that we helped recently.
This is what HHH-USA is all about – providing much needed relief in times of need. However, we cannot continue to provide that relief unless we have support from the hunting community. Since 2001, HHH-USA has maintained focus on its singular mission. That is specifically to provide financial assistance to those in the hunting community for medical and funeral expenses.
In 2023, data from the National Council of Profits showed that giving as a percentage of an individual’s disposable personal income dropped to a 40-year low in 2022. While mega-giving from wealthy Americans represented nearly 5% of individual giving, these gifts directly benefit only a small number of the more than 1.3 million charitable nonprofits in the country.
HHH-USA operates in such a way that a major portion of your donation goes directly to its mission due to HHH-USA being an all-volunteer organization and through our due diligence process mitigating any possible fraud that can occur with other avenues of on-line donations.
This year, HHH-USA is pleased to announce the addition of QGIV to our website as another means to contribute with its ability to donate via PayPal, Venmo, ApplePay, and directly from your bank or bank card.
HHH-USA needs the generous support of hunters to be able to help our own in 2025.
Please consider supporting our mission by donating today. Thank you for your consideration and may you be blessed in return.

Dear Donors, Volunteers and Supporters… and Recipients,
“I’m just trying to keep a roof over me and my son’s head.”
That is the response from one of our recipients when asked how HHHUSA could help.
We never know when it may happen. Things are going well. We think we are prepared and have the necessary resources to get us through, then the unexpected happens. A medical event interrupts our income, and we are faced with the inability to afford basic necessities.
With all the current stress in this world, especially with political division in an election year, multiple military conflicts, and tension at the border, people in need are often overlooked because those that are capable of helping are distracted. Those in need reach out for help but find limited support. Imagine dealing with all this negativity and then add the stress of worrying if you are going to be able to keep a roof over your head.
I’ll be upfront, financial grants are going out faster than donations are coming in. Could it be that these same distractions and uncertainty in the world be the reason donations are dwindling? I don’t know, but I don’t want to have to tell a potential recipient that we are unable to help keep a roof over his head. If all our social media followers donated $25, I would feel comfortable that we could assist many more in the hunting community.
HHH-USA needs the generous support of donors to be able to help our own in 2024. Please consider supporting our mission by donating today. Thank you for your consideration and may you be blessed in return.

Dear Donors, Volunteers and Supporters… and Recipients,
Beginning in 2001, Hunters Helping Hunters USA started off tremendously. We positively impacted many lives in the following years through the generosity of fellow hunters. Throughout that time, the testimonies from grateful people kept coming. Over the past few years, despite our new website and increased presence on social media, donations and applications for assistance has decreased significantly.
I am unable to point to any reasons why this has happened. Perhaps with all that is going on in our world, charity has become a lower priority. I can, however, point out some specific needs HHH-USA has that could positively impact our mission and reach.
First, we need sponsors. Individuals and corporations partnering with HHH-USA would go a long way to achieving the considerable success as have enjoyed previously. As our organization is entirely internet based, we have set up a sponsorship package to give your company exposure through our social media presence and our website.
Secondly, we could use fresh perspective and expertise on our Board of Directors. All of the current Board Members have been involved in some way with HHH-USA since its beginning in 2001. We could add as many as three new board members at this time. Our Board Members are spread throughout the nation and all our meetings are via video conferencing from the comfort of your own home.
Lastly, we seek a media specialist that can manage our social media presence and content. HHH-USA is made up of volunteers with no paid staff. Volunteering to be a board member in charge of media or just helping out with media content would fill a huge need for HHH-USA.
HHH-USA will continue to be there for the hunting community to swiftly meet their financial needs associated with high medical and/or funeral costs with the support from people like you who make our mission possible. If you are not in need of financial assistance now, maybe you know someone who is.
Should you have any questions regarding HHH-USA, feel free to contact me at ken@huntershelpinghuntersusa.org
As always, the generous support of our donors and volunteers allows HHH-USA to be at the ready to help our own in 2023. Thank you for your continued support. May you be blessed in return.

Dear Donors, Volunteers and Supporters… and Recipients,
Who would have thought back in 2020 that we would still be the dealing with the Covid virus in 2022? Yet here we are, and Hunters Helping Hunters USA continues to feel the impact in decreasing donations and applications.
HHH USA has made significant changes during the last two years since Covid began including the addition of our new website. We are constantly looking for easy and safe ways to help more individuals. We have now added an affiliate marketing program with Bass Pro Shops and Walmart. By using our affiliate marketing program, you are helping HHH USA gather much needed funding to do what we do best, and in the process, taking care of your own needs. This way, you can spend your money on what you want to purchase and get the intrinsic feeling of helping a fellow hunter from the safety of your own home. It is kind of like donating without actually donating. Please visit our website for more information.
If you are not in need of financial assistance now, maybe you know someone who is. Also, please consider donating to help another hunter you may not know.
I am proud to say that since its formation in 2001, HHH USA has paid out over $32,000 to assist hunters and their families.
As always, the generous support of our donors and volunteers allows HHH USA to be at the ready to help our own in 2022. Thank you for your continued support. May you be blessed in return.

Dear Donors, Volunteers and Supporters… and Recipients,
Wow! What was that?
2020 started off with great hope for Hunters Helping Hunters USA. Our new LinkedIn Company Page and Showcase Pages were created and published, our logo was officially trademarked, and our new website was making good progress.
Then the unexpected happened...
In March 2020, the world started to notice that things would not be the same for a while. Who knew it would continue this long? Everything changed. Lives changed. Jobs lost. The economy changed. Politics reared its ugly head. It is yet to be seen how that will change things for the next four years. For the better? For the worse? The debate goes on and appears it will continue for some time.
Hunters Helping Hunters USA also felt the impact as did most Non-profit organizations. Donations fell off as people kept a close watch on their finances not knowing what the future would hold. Society was shut down in most of the USA and people were afraid to visit their doctors or go to the hospital due to the Pandemic. Applications for financial assistance fell off as well.
However, HHH-USA was still able to help two applicants in 2020.
HHH-USA was able to provide financial assistance to one hunter who fell from a tree stand and sustained severe injuries requiring multiple surgeries. We were able to assist with the hospital bill.
A second hunter, battling cancer, needed assistance with rent and travel expenses to and from his frequent medical treatment visits.
Also in 2020, HHH-USA surpassed $30,000 in financial grants awarded, paying medical and funeral costs for other hunters in need across America.
And now, with our new website up and operational, HHH-USA is in position to make a bigger impact in 2021. A special thanks to Terry Pope of Social Profile Masters for his hard work in creating an exceptional website and our LinkedIn presence.
If you are not in need of financial assistance now, maybe you know someone who is. Also, please consider donating to help other hunters you may not know - it's what we as hunters do.
I am proud to say that since its formation in 2001, HHH-USA has paid out a total of over $32,000 to assist hunters and their families.
As always, the generous support of our donors and volunteers allows HHH-USA to be at the ready to helping our own in 2021. Thank you for your continued support. May you be blessed in return.

Dear Donors, Volunteers and Supporters… and Recipients,
These are trying times, as they say. There are many things these days to distract our attention. Politics, work, bills, family and social media can be very distracting in our daily lives. One thing that will get us quickly focused is a medical emergency or a death in the family. Once we have recovered from the shock of the event, here come the bills.
My family experienced two deaths in the family within months of each other. I observed several months of bills coming in after the funerals. Fortunately, proper financial planning and resources kept me and my siblings from having to contribute to the cost of giving my father a respectable ceremony. As fortunate as my family and I were that my father had the resources to make the financial plan work, many people are caught off guard or do not have the resources to avoid years of paying off medical or funeral costs.
Not knowing where to go for financial help, some people have to sell items or adjust their budget by foregoing things like hunting. Hunters Helping Hunters USA continues to be there in the event or fellow brothers and sisters in the hunting community find themselves needing financial assistance to make the times less trying.
If you are not in need of financial assistance now, maybe you know someone who is. Also, please consider making a donation to help another hunter you may not know.
I am proud to say that since its formation in 2001, HHH-USA has paid out $29,274.42 to assist hunters and their families.
As always, the generous support of our donors and volunteers allows HHH-USA to be at the ready to help our own in 2019.
Thank you for your continued support. May you be blessed in return.
